I dumped that other board, so I won't defend it now.
Yet, I am a little bit perplexed by your assertion: You say that you left THERE because it is "unfriendly and rude"
so, you came HERE!?!?
Now, I never said I was going to make any sense. Especially after enjoying a few beverages out by a roaring fire. lol
But yeah ... I did find the boards at Hannity to be very unfriendly. I stayed for a few months and tried to connect with some of the folks, but it just didn't happen. I found it to be like a big clique. I don't know ... maybe I'm just in a different mindset now, but I like this place. GASP!
I like this place too. Not all of its members can say the same about me, however!
Anyway, I found the other place overly stifling.
As I have noted about the USMB, it is much more akin to the Wild West. I like that about this place a great deal.
But I certainly can't say that this place is any less rude or unfriendly than the other place. In fact, frankly, USMB tends to be quite a bit more rude and quite a bit less friendly. As trade-offs go, however, I still prefer this Wild West show to that more restrictive (and irrational) other place.
